It is-to be understood, of course, that any suitable means for holding the candles in position may be employed. For example, the cups 6 may be secured to the bottom of the box by means of an adhesive or the like so that the paper cups will serve to hold the candies in predetermined position.

It will be seen that I have accomplished the objects of my invention. I have provided a novel and handy package which will enable the contents of a box of candy to be inspected before its purchase, a thing hitherto not at the same time, protecting the candy. The indicating means enables a consumer to choose his favorite piece.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
